The Czech Republic's post-Czechoslovak currency reform of 1993 required an entirely new series in short order, and Státní Tiskárna Cenin — the state security printer that had produced Czechoslovak notes for decades — handled the full run domestically. Kulhánek's design work across this series is among the more considered of the post-communist Central European reissues, and the division of engraving labor between Ondráček on the obverse and Fajt on the reverse was a deliberate practice at STC rather than an unusual arrangement.
P#11 superseded the transitional 1993 Czechoslovak-stamp overprint notes that had bridged the currency split.
